Caercas
Caercas is the center of Roesone in many ways. It is
the largest and most densely settled province of the
realm, and it is home to Proudglaive, the capital of
Roesone. Caercas was the original holding of Daen
Roesone, and even during the years in which most
of this land was empty, several settlements and
freesteads could still be found in this area.
The word "caercas" is Old Andu for "Highcastle."
The province takes its name from a large hill overlooking
the Spider River's plain. The hilltop is now
home to the castle Blacktower, the home of House
Roesone and the chief defense of Proudglaive. The
new castle shares the hilltop with the ruins of several
older fortifications. It's said that there are caves
and vaults underneath Blacktower that are still
unexplored by the baron's men.
Caereas is the royal province, held directly by
the baron without any vassal lords. However, the
Castellan of Proudglaive administers the area and
looks after local matters.
